Here is a screen shot.
Notes
- You can specify a directory path or a remote URL in the edit box
- You can specify just an mp3 file to play music only
- Choose any 3gp file from http://daily3gp.com/ to view videos
- The 4 buttons are for play, pause, reset and stop
- When you specify a http or https url, we save the url contents to hard disk first and then play it
- All the leg work was done by dahui. Many thanks!!
- The icons are from here
- MediaPlayer does not yet support any remote url’s or MPEG4 video AFAICT
Here’s the code

Hi,
Thanks for your code, It works like a charm but i need to know one thing where the temp file is created and is it not necessary to delete the temp file every time when the media is completed

Very nice example. For those who have problem to run it:
How it is written one will need to use HVGA-L mode of emulator or to edit the following line inside onCreate:
holder.setFixedSize(400, 300);
to something less ambitious like 200×200.

Hi,
thanks a lot for that example!
1. I can play videos from the internet when i remove the extra thread and start & prepare the player without it. Do you really need an extra thread? The GUI is reacting nevertheless, so whats the advantage?
2. How can i play local files? I put them into the resource folder (res/raw/), but no path which i enter in the textfield seem to be correct.
thanks for help
alex
May 28, 2008 at 7:58 am
Ok,
i figured out a way to play local videos. If you play them from the Internet, they get stored in /tmp/… I just copied a video over eclipse FileExplorer into that directory and played the url /tmp/filename. But i don´t know how to play files within the resources directory. Most likely they are stored in the app.apk. Why can´t i play them with /res/raw/filenname?

Hi,
I could resolve all the errors. I’m finding problem at the run time. I’m getting NullPointerException error. Found that the error is due to
mPreview = (SurfaceView) findViewById(R.id.surface)
mPreview is null.
Likewise, mPath, mPlay, … are also null.
Can anyone suggest how to overcome this issue???????
